"These Are The Visions That Make Me Cry"

I often ponder on current issues, to make some sense, no sense to try

Battered Children, Assault and Anarchy...These Are The Visions That Make Me Cry

Some "People" write for jewels and money, this poet writes to spread the truth

Who sees all nations consumed by violence, and evil things done to our youth

Sick pervert stalking/a camera caught it/it's just so hard to understand

No forced was used, he didn't hit her; they left the station hand in hand

East Indian city - there's people starving - a Mother's Fruits are nearly dead

Drastic measures to keep them breathing - She sold her kidney to buy some bread

The Philippines, no one to help them/A former President the biggest sinner

They weep to God because they're hungry...A Landfill's Trash Most Nights Is Dinner

A Bathtub drowning, Grandma's a dealer - sad torture room in Bedford Stuy

Tied to the "Chair", molested, murdered...These Are The Visions That Make Me Cry

The ACS safe place for children?/to wish for this a foolish bet

Lisa Steinberg, countless others, how soon it seems we all forget

Helpless woman, demented writer, a heinous crime/she had no escape

On halloween, the lowest coward/A Bravest's costume used for rape

Sweet young girl/a trip/Aruba, then one night she disappears

Never found, no chance for closure - You can't imagine her family's tears

These desperate times are overwhelming, Global Heartbeat daily fades

There's few sunrises in most of Africa/How many more must die from AIDS?

05's Tsunami - Katrina's Carnage/The Mine Explosion, I wonder why?

A sudden shootout, Naisha's Eulogy...These Are The Visions That Make Me Cry
